Sentence: While the toddler quickly learned that affecting a lisp was a good way to get adults to do what she wanted, it wasn't until long after it started having the opposite effect that she realized it for the tickleme it was.

Etymology: As in the "Tickle-me Elmo" doll. Some (not all) may have found it once cute, but no talking toy with less than a 50-sentence vocabulary can help but become annoying after awhile.
